So I brought two 16GB flash drives from amazon.co.uk with the seller being 7dayshop. I used h2testw to test them out, and the results are thus:
The media is likely to be defective.
13.6 GByte OK (28619488 sectors)
1.9 GByte DATA LOST (4115744 sectors)
Details:0 KByte overwritten (0 sectors)
0 KByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 0 sectors)
1.9 GByte corrupted (4115744 sectors)
0 KByte aliased memory (0 sectors)
First error at offset: 0x000000036965c000
Expected: 0x000000036965c000
Found: 0x0000000000000000
H2testw version 1.3
Writing speed: 4.62 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.0 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
The media is likely to be defective.
13.7 GByte OK (28825320 sectors)
1.8 GByte DATA LOST (3909912 sectors)
Details:0 KByte overwritten (0 sectors)
0 KByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 0 sectors)
1.8 GByte corrupted (3909912 sectors)
0 KByte aliased memory (0 sectors)
First error at offset: 0x000000036fadd000
Expected: 0x000000036fadd000
Found: 0x0000000000000000
H2testw version 1.3
Writing speed: 3.43 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.6 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
Even if it's not as drastic as the fakes you see on Ebay, having 13.6GB and 13.7GB instead of 15.6GB (16GB, whatever) is kinda offputting... should I return them, or just suck it up? XD
